If so few people care, then how can it be so impressive?


More of a true playoff system that tests many different factors of teams' strengths - namely, winning games in a variety of different ways. It's more of a test of a team's endurance and overall depth. True, there may be less room for error on the football field, but the lack of a true playoff system has the media playing a much bigger role in which teams get pinned in different bowls.

I wouldn't even know who was in the championship round of the CWS if it wasn't for the fact I was browsing this board last night. No one gives a flying flip about college baseball. That fact alone makes anything that happens in the sport less impressive than football.


Keyword: "I" as in: you personally don't care. I'm sorry that your team isn't part of the discussion for baseball, and that may be why you are more partial to football (granted, your team is the best in football, there is no denying that).

Again, the question didn't have to do with popularity. It had to do with accomplishment on the field.

I'm taking a stab at this, but I'm guessing your answer is baseball.

And we see how that works for the NFL. 10-6 and 9-7 teams have been winning the Super Bowl more and more often as of late. Playoffs don't show us who the best team is, they merely show us who the hottest team is.

And I'm not the only one. When a College World Series game has less viewership than the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl then your sport is pretty irrelevant. The SEC run in baseball is about as impressive as UCONN's in women's basketball a few years back. Sure…way to win all those games, but the competition was lacking due to the lack of money going into the sport.
